Abstract excerpt
We intended to establish the frequency of exon-specific TP53 gene alterations and the relation to patient and tumor characteristics and clinical outcome of patients with breast cancer. By using polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP) and sequencing techniques, TP53 gene alterations were found in 59 (32%) of the 187 samples studied. Most of the TP53 changes (37%) were...
